An animation I recently created...

Once upon a time...

My books.

I like the scenes within the books to be humorous, the surreal elements create an innuendo to the viewer, because each person will take their own perspective on the stories. The face value of each scenario is usally different once inspected closely, the happy 'fairytale' isn't always the case, and this is the quality i like about making these books...they're a composition of fantasies and nightmares.

Like this a lot.

'Silks: Part One, Silk and Secrecy'

Artists: Kumi Korf and Emoretta Yang

recent work.

back.

its been too long since i've written on here, i guess the essay took over for a while, then christmas. So here's what im thinking at the moment...
SEWING! im sewing a lot at the moment, making collages, still influenced by Marnie Weber, i wanted to go the Manchester Art Gallery today, but the snow has been so so bad, i'd like to see the Angels of Anarchy exhibition, can't believe i've still not seen it!

Getting on with the essay.

The set essay:

To write an essay on an image of our choice, using 1000 words, then choosing a further 6 images which have a relation to this original, using 500 words.

Edouard Manet dejeuner sur l'herbe...

I've always been interested with this image, there's just so much to say about it, its pretty controversial for its time, and was the inspiration toward many other artists. I like dissecting the painting, and learning what each part symbolises, why is the woman staring at the viewer?..as if she has been photographed off guard. I've found lots of new fascinating facts along the way, so I'm eager now to get writing this essay, but i still need to find the other 6 images to relate to this one!

some of Weber's collages...
